    June 5 2020 Noticias y Notas News and notes from the Second Judicial District Court A word from the chief Finding the silver lining in the COVID-19 Cloud March 11, 2020, is a day that I—and I am sure many of you—will never forget. At 6:20 p.m. that day, I was sitting in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri watching the first round game be- tween Iowa State University and Texas Christian University of the Big 12 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. This tournament is a big deal for me. I have attended it for the last 10 years without fail. This year I was particularly excited because my team, the University of Kansas Jayhawks, were the undisputed number one team in the country and expected to win not just the Big 12 tourna- ment, but also the Big Dance, the NCAA Championship tournament in April. Our seats were absolutely the best seats we had ever had the for this tournament—fourteen rows up from center court. Things could not have lined up better for me, a rabid college basketball fanatic, until . Well you know what happened next. It seemed like the entire country shut down in a matter of hours. Needless to say, life has been very different—and somewhat difficult—for most of us ever since. It’s as if we’ve lost something very near and dear and now we are cycling through those well- known stages of grief (i.e. denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) while trying to adjust to a new normal.
